LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
After an opening song and story with Sierra William, Mack and Chief Roger, we heard from the venerable elder who led his people in resistance to clearcut logging and open-pit mining. In dialogue with Tsilhqot’in story weaver Trevor Mack, William laid out a 3-punch, knock-out strategy: beginning with the creation of the Nemiah Declaration, to the blockade of roads and bridges, and finally to the Supreme Court victories that kicked out Taseko Mines and established Aboriginal Title to sacred Teztan Biny.
Festival Afloat 2022: the Salish Sea Tour came together in a beautiful culmination of music, food, paddling, and raising funds and awareness for Indigenous access to justice. We raised over $50,000 for Heiltsuk’s and Gitxaała’s legal campaigns. None of this could have happened without the support from our incredible sponsors or the performances and storytelling from the different musicians and knowledge keepers.
With the implementation of a DRIPA Action Plan, B.C. has committed to shift away from patterns of litigation with Indigenous Peoples. What does this mean, and what would change on the ground?
The long-awaited judgment in Yahey v British Columbia (2021 BCSC 1287), a treaty infringement challenge brought by Blueberry River First Nation, has been widely hailed by legal scholars as a groundbreaking precedent with sweeping implications for treaty rights and resource extraction in northeastern B.C. and beyond.
The Run for FUNds fundraiser organized by RAVEN supporters, Kayci Lesosky and Sarah Legg, is fast approaching! On April 2, 2022 Kayci and Sarah are inviting everyone to come out to a community fun run at Elk Lake provincial park in Victoria. Their goal: to bring awareness to the Wild Salmon campaign, supporting Indigenous Nations to rid the Discovery Islands of dangerous fish farms once and for all.
Last year, Pro Bono Students Canada helped RAVEN by looking at the legal precedents that have been set by cases our community has fundraised for and supported. Focusing on the specific achievements of Gitxaala v. Canada — the legal victory over the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline — student legal researchers went looking for new legal cases that had cited Gitxaala. Check out this infographic illustrating the findings.
